We Had a Free Day. - The hotel pickup was included and punctual. The ride was safe. We picked up 3 other guests along the way so it was just the five of us for the experience. The local guides were excellent. The main guide spoke perfect English which was great as she was so informative. The elephants and the whole experience were exactly as advertised. It was a perfect morning.

Elephant Heaven - What a life time experience getting up close and personal with the gentle giants. No riding, no chains just feeding, giving a mud bath and then washing them in the river. The staff care so much for these animals. It really shows they love what they do, looking after old and mistreated elephants. There's only three elephants but you have around 3 hrs with them. It was also very educational. Would highly recommend everyone do it. You are giving money to a get cause while having the best experience you will never forget.

Great experience - There was good interaction with the elephants and you can tell they are very respected by their caretakers. Just know that if you get in the river after their mudbath, the workers will soak you head to toe whether you want it or not. Meant to be fun, so if you don't want to get soaked, don't get in :)

Cambodian Elephant Half-Day Tour - My experience with the Cambodian Elephant Half-Day Tour started off a little rocky as they were a bit late picking me up. However, once I arrived, it turned into an absolutely amazing experience.
The staff were incredibly friendly and highly knowledgeable about Asian elephants. There were three elephants on-site, and you could touch and feed them, which was such a unique and memorable experience. I also appreciated that there was no riding involved, which reassured me that the elephants were not being mistreated.
For the most part, the elephants seemed well-cared for, and the sanctuary’s focus on ethical treatment was evident throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone—it’s not only educational but also a fantastic way to interact with these gentle giants responsibly.
A must-do if you’re in Cambodia!
